Yan Yueming did not fail in her mission, and escorted the man back to the bridge with Wen Renjing. When the man saw the town on the other side again, he looked like a good woman and man who had been coerced.

Li Zheng was still standing in place, except for a few more snowflakes on his shoulders, he didn't even change his standing posture.

"Senior, we've got people back." The first thing Yan Yueming did when she came back was to report to Li Zheng. Li Zheng met his expectant gaze and said, "Not bad." ”

Yan Yueming was satisfied and smiled embarrassedly. Wen Renjing looked straight and happy, glanced at the man with snot and tears on his face, and was very disgusted, and hurriedly asked: "The person was caught, what should I do next?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the flying snowflakes, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature was also dropping rapidly, and it was actually very dangerous to advance and retreat.

He looked back at the two juniors, especially Yan Yueming, and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

If you want to save face when you hear people, you have to say that you are not afraid.

Yan Yueming was very scared, and he was sincere, nodding his head like garlic, anyone could see his fear, but he quickly whispered: "But I listen to the seniors, I'll go with you." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the little golden axe again and added, "I still have a weapon." ”

Li Zheng vaguely hooked the corners of his mouth, "Then cross the bridge." ”

"No! Can't pass! The man struggled again, "That ghost place is too dangerous, I managed to escape with great difficulty, how can I go back again!" ”

Li Zheng: "Then you say, what happened in the town?" ”

The man looked at him and instinctively sensed danger. This danger is not the shocking feeling brought to him by the tender-faced but ferocious Axe Gang, but the sense of oppression like a black cloud pressing on the top, and there must be a deception for a man to be so beautiful! He couldn't help but take another half step back, and said tremblingly, "You, you tell me first, you are like me, yes, are you human?" It's human, right? ”

Yan Yueming nodded sincerely, "We are." ”

The man was devastated, "Then why are you arresting me!" ”

Yan Yueming had already sensed Li Zheng's intentions at this moment, looking at the man in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she fell into the gap for the first time, and felt a little sympathetic, so she took the initiative to explain in a gentle tone: "This is a gap, and it may be more dangerous to run around." And it's cold, and people are freezing to death in front of you, how can you go out alone? ”

Wen Ren nodded in agreement, "Yes, the one who froze to death has already hardened." ”

The man thought for a moment, and suddenly became sad, and spoke very quickly about what happened to him. He was a little incoherent at first, but he could barely sort out the ins and outs of things as he spoke. According to him, he is from Lincheng, named Zhao Shen, an older unmarried and humble social animal, because he is dissatisfied with working overtime during the holidays, so he skipped work today. Who knew that he was a rare wave for a while, and unfortunately fell into the gap.

Everyone is a paper aboriginal in this strange world, although they don't know the details in the gap, but they are no strangers to the matter of "falling into the gap".

Suddenly appeared in a strange place, and 99% of them fell into the cracks.

Lin Cheng is about 300 kilometers away from the upper city, which is not far but not too close. Now that the location of the gap has been disrupted, it is not surprising that Zhao Shen met them.

"I swear I just accidentally squinted a little under a tree in the park, and when I woke up, the sky changed!"

Wen Renjing asked: "As soon as you came in, you were in Orange Red Town?" How long have you been here? ”

"I don't know...... Zhao Shen thought of something, his face was full of horror, "Anyway, I woke up and was in that town, also under a tree." When I fell asleep, it was still morning, how could I wake up at night, and it was snowing again, and I almost froze to death! The lights were on in every house in that town, and I could see people in that house from afar. Someone! Do you know? Can you believe that there are still people living in this crevice? Isn't this a ghost? ”

Yan Yueming understood him very well, if he went to the silent neighborhood for the first time and saw that there were people in the house, then he would definitely feel more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

Zhao Shen continued: "Later, later I found a hotel that was still open for business, I was too cold, I was cold and hungry and went in, but the hotel didn't even need accommodation fees, but asked me for money, do you think there is a problem?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng immediately asked, "How much did you take?" ”

Zhao Shen was slightly stunned, and then said: "3, 360...... Is it the market price of an ordinary bid room? Is there a problem? ”

His heart gradually became uneasy, looking at Li Zheng, then at Wen Renjing and Yan Yueming, he was at a loss for a while. Li Zheng's expression was calm, but the words he said made him feel cold, "That's your money." ”

Zhao Shen: "Selling money?!" ”

This time, even Yan Yueming was shocked.

Li Zheng: "This is your own offer?" ”

Zhao Shen recalled the situation in the store, as if he was struck by lightning, "Yes, yes, no wonder, no wonder the owner of the store asked me to set the price myself, I didn't dare to say it higher, I was afraid that there would be a problem, so I quoted the price of an ordinary big bed room!" ”

Li Zheng's expression did not change, "How much is left?" ”

"Oh, oh." Zhao Shen hurriedly took out his pocket, because he was too flustered and afraid, the money fell down as he took it out, and he was busy picking it up, looking at them as if he was asking for help, "I, I'm too cold and hungry, I just used a little, and now there are so many left, about two hundred yuan." What to do? Am I going to die? ”

Li Zheng: "You're still alive, aren't you?" ”

It was probably his calmness and calmness that infected Zhao Shen, so although Zhao Shen was still scared, he was not so flustered. But in the next second, Li Zheng said ruthlessly: "But your life has been sold to the hotel, and the money and goods are lost, even if you run out no matter how far you go, you will come back here." ”

"What then?" Zhao Shenren was numb, pulling his hair, and his voice trembled.

"Redeem it." Li Zheng was concise and to the point.

As for how to redeem it, this is a technical question.

Wen Renjing then asked: "Since you have sold your life and lived well in the hotel, why did you suddenly run out again?" ”

"Heh, hehe......" Zhao Shen suddenly began to sneer, like being possessed by something dirty in a horror movie, that kind of smiling smile, "You don't know, the hotel was quite normal when I first entered, and when I finished taking the money and checking in, I started to foul and foul constantly, I felt that I was even wrong to breathe, and the four inconsistencies were like following me and picking up my brain, do you know?" I'm just going to get a straw to suck it! I shake my brain now and it feels like it's all mush! It's paste! ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his spit flew everywhere, as if he was stunned, "Only when I spend money to enjoy the service is peaceful, this is not a proper consumerist trap!" ”

Yan Yueming felt a pang in her heart when she heard this, not because of the meaning of Zhao Shen's words, but because of Zhao Shen's state. This reminded him of the wanderer on the 11th, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, Zhao Shen hadn't reached this point yet, but his life was only two hundred yuan.

Two hundred yuan, how much can Xiao Ming be worth? How long can you survive in a small town?

Li Zheng also had something to think about in his heart. Zhao Shen shouldn't have been in Orange Red Town for a long time, and the places he went to were limited, and just a hotel was enough to scare him.

At this time, the wind and snow intensified, and the whirring cold wind was like a knife, causing Yan Yueming and Wenren to start sneezing. Li Zheng looked at the bridge again, and immediately decided: "Let's go." ”

As soon as Li Zheng moved, Wen Renjing and Yan Yueming immediately followed.

"Whoa!" Zhao Shen finally calmed down a little, and when he saw that they had already walked towards the bridge, he finally gritted his teeth and followed, "Wait for me!" ”

As Li Zheng walked, he introduced them to the rules of the town.

"There's a basic rule in a small town: you walk the talk."

"Pay attention to every word you say, and once you say it, you have to follow it. The simplest example is that if you casually say that you want to eat Chinese food later, then your next meal must be Chinese food. This one applies to us as well as to NPCs. ”

"There are a lot of NPCs here, all of whom are residents of the town, and they look like ordinary people. They act strictly according to their own character settings, and each is different. ”

Li Zheng said as he walked, calmly and calmly. He has always disliked reading from the book, so he never recognized Que Ge's tactics of asking questions, and it was more interesting to teach in the field.

On one side of the bridge is a stone path, which is not straight, but curved. About 300 meters on, they passed the first house.

On the bridge just now, because it was a snowy night, and because it was separated by a certain distance, Yan Yueming couldn't really see it. After arriving here, he finally saw that the architectural style of this orange-red town was simply a hodgepodge.

There are very ordinary cement bungalows, three-story European-style self-built houses, wooden houses, Chinese-style courtyards with white walls and black tiles, and old tube buildings with five or six floors, everything is there. As far as the eye can see, there are old water towers lit up.

It was snowing outside, and there was no one on the street.

Through the windows of every house, Yan Yueming could vaguely see a figure flickering, but she couldn't see it really. There are street lights on the side of the road, which are very ordinary styles, but half of them are broken.

"Smack." A moth fights a fire and crashes into the lampshade.

"For the townspeople, we are all out-of-towners, and out-of-towners need to live in hotels. Only by invitation from local residents can they enter their homes. ”

Li Zheng looked into the distance and continued: "In addition to the hotel, there are other functional buildings in the town. Best of all, the orange-red town is a phone call. ”

Wen Renjing blinked, and immediately reacted, "A phone that can connect to the real world?" I've heard my mom talk about such a special point of contact before, but I didn't expect it to be there? ”

"Anything that is unknown means that everything is possible." Li Zheng's words came leisurely in the wind and snow, "The wind and snow are different, the gaps have changed, we have to make this call as soon as possible." ”

But before that—

Li Zheng glanced at Renjing and Yan Yueming, estimating that their physical strength had reached the limit, so he said, "Let's go to stay first." ”
